Cutting Connelly would save another $2.5M.
That would make it $11.5. Realistically you can add Vince's $7.5 which makes it $19M easily and try to get Vince back at a lower number.
$19M + hopefully something from Hernandez is very workable. Kelly would put it over $20M.
You can cut all those guys, but at some point you're hurting yourself more than you're helping, since you're just creating more holes that require FA dollars to fill.
Also, there won't be any Hernandez cap relief coming in 2014. If there's any to be had, it'll probably be credited later.
